Uldine Utley started preaching at the age of 10 in 1922. By the time she was 14, she could draw a crowd of 14,000. It was said that she had the power to cast out devils and heal the sick. Two Pentecostal churches were planted in Savannah, Ga., because of her meetings there. (Courtesy TJ Lavigne/Child Preacher Network )
